English Classic Series,
FOR
Classes in English Literature, Reading, Grammar, etc
EDITED BY EMINENT ENGLISH AND AMERICAN SCHOLARS.
Each Volume contains a Sketch of the Author's Life, Prefatory and Explanatory Notes, etc., etc.
These Volumes are thoroughly adapted for Schools in which English Literature forms a branch of study, or where a carefully selected portion of some English Classic is chosen for minute examination, or for supplementary reading. The notes are unusually full and exhaustive, occupying in many volumes nearly half the book. Etymology is attended to throughout, the derivations of all the more difficult words being given. In short, they supply the student with all the information necessary to a perfect understanding and just appreciation of the text, and incidentally communicate much useful philological and general knowledge.
